desiderata

Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

Hay... May mas sasaya pa ba sa araw na ito? Of course, ala na!! Ala kasi kaming pasok ngayon e, thanks to supertyphoon "yoyong". E kahit na ako'y pinapaligiran na matibay na pader at bubong... kailangan pa rin nating ipagdasal na hindi ganun kalakas ang hangin at ulan na hatid ni 'yoyong'... Maraming mga kababayan natin di pinalad na magkaroon ng isang tirahang tulad ng atin...

Sa totoo lang kalabuan nga ang araw na ito. Kung kayo'y nasa Pinas alam nyo kung ano tinutukoy ko.. Inihatid sa balita na ang lugar namin, kasama na rin ang Metro Manila ay signal #2. Ngunit kahit isang patak ng ulan wala kang makikita. Kaunting ulap lang ang matatanaw mo...kumpara sa mga nakaraang araw kung saan buong langit ay napupuno ng madidilim na ulap.

Ipagdasal na rin natin, tayong mga mahilig mag internet, na hindi tayo maputulan ng kuryente...
Please, huwag mag black out! Mawawalan tayo ng kabuhay kung mangyayari nga ang di kanais nais na black out...

Pero sa totoo lang, mas gugustuhin ko pang pumasok ngayong araw. Mayroon kasi kaming pag-uulat ngayon sa Filipino. At gusto ko na siyang tapusin...

So yeah! I have nothing to do...nothing to say...nothing...to see. lol. Im going crazy.

Yesterday, many of us were having some sort of problems specifically our 'hyper-activeness' during the day. Have to blame the moon for that. hehe. I know you dont know the reason behind the sudden lunacy during the full moon.. And would you believe that I believe in that? The moon hides a lot of mystery on its darkest side...

Even during a reporting in English...we were able to have so much bloopers. Well, the group was fortunate enough to experience those. We, the audience, were just having the time of our lives laughing like lunatics. Were just so shallow when it comes to the small mistakes committed by people... but we were not making fun of the reporters, mind you...they are just so cute to look at! *laughs* especially when they were having a hard time pronouncing Chinua's last name...which is Achebe. Hehe.

*****

A friend of mine took my jacket home...deliberately! Tama bang angkinin niya ang jacket ko?! And she didnt even asked my permission or anything! I was able to realize the absence of my jacket...some time after lunch. But, I dunno... I dont even feel a bit of anger towards her.. That's weird.

And when I reminded her last night to return it to me today...she told me that their helper washed it! Damn... Im just concerned for what will happen tomorrow. ;p Were going to have an interaction with mentally and physically challenged children. And with what the weather is right now, it looks its going to be a cold daaay today and tomorrow. And without a jacket...I wont be able to survive the whole cold day!

Basta ba'y buo pa at nasa magandang condition yung jacket ko e...ok lang. at kung nasunog ng katulong nila ang nag-iisa kong jacket...Ay...Ibang usapan na yan!
